Ran our first live stream via @MuxHQ today after some horrible experiences with a well known alternative who shall remain nameless. Super simple, reliable and looked great!
We evaluated several vendors, but Mux was by far the most developer friendly and mature. They had excellent documentation, a ton of educational blog posts, and also real humans to help us get started.
AI enables video at a scale that wasn't possible before, which means cost is a huge consideration. Mux was very proactive in making sure our costs were managed.
By removing the complexity of video engineering, Mux freed us to focus on delivering a better product, faster.
We researched, candidly, every single option. Mux kept coming up as the number one ease of integration was amazing that it's just a couple of lines of code and "boom".
We were stressing about how long it would take to fix our video streaming, but I was able to open up Github mobile and integrate Mux on my phone. I had something working in two hours. That’s wild.
Getting Mux set up was incredibly seamless. Honestly, Mux’s docs and that onboarding experience is something that we share to other customers as a 99th percentile, ‘This is how you should do it.’
We built an in-house MVP solution for video, but rather than spending our engineering team’s time navigating and maintaining video infrastructure, we turned to Mux. With Mux, video just works, which means we can focus on building the best product for Substack creators and trust that video is solved.
